Time will tellĢ) I hadn't gone so far with the build that correction of these errors wasn't an option.How to build the 1/8 scale hydroplane rc boat (paynpak, This is part of a series from the. Correction of this may result in a boat that won't need as much balancing weight to run properly. Needless to say, this can and will affect the boat's balance. Everything is roughly a foot to 18 inches too far aft. I found out a few things yesterday:ġ) The plans I am building from have some serious issues when it comes to the top layout and the location of the center cross frame.

Since I'm building the 1973 Pay'N Pak and the full sized boat is being restored there, it was kind of a no-brainer. Yesterday was spent at the Hydroplane & Raceboat Museum on a research run. Needless to say, it took some major damage on the trip so I've spent two of the last three days repairing the damage. Went camping last weekend and thought "I'll take the boat with me so I can work on it a bit". I'll try to get some shots uploaded tomorrow showing what's been done Once again, I found issues with the frames so there will be some modifying involved before I can attach the sponson side and bottom. Today's work has been to glue together the framing for the right sponson. This was followed by gluing in the 1/4" stringers to the bottom of the engine bay walls and then epoxying on the rear bottom panel.
I've managed to get the engine bay walls installed and epoxied frames 2 and 3 into place. I've started working on a replacement hull for the Elam, have part of the framing done on both sponsons on it. All the left side frames have to be redone to correct a major issue. The Oberto hasn't been touched due to some redesign work I've found it needed after doing some serious examining of the full sized boat. I've managed to get the sponson insides epoxied to the transom and done some work on the right sponson framing. This boat was the sister to the Atlas that Chip Hanouer drove in 1982-83. The Notre Dame has been shelved for a while and replaced with a 1985 Executone. The rudder linkage now needs repairing and the flex shaft tube needs to be replace after being torn out of the boat and snapped in twoĪs for the three builds, some things have changed. Let me rephrase that, it did until I ran through some milfoil at the Columbia Cup last month. A high torque digital took care of that so now my Elam turns like it's on rails. At that point they stalled and wouldn't turn the boat. Another problem was the rudder servo's I was using worked fine, that is until I got over half throttle. From what I can tell, the old rreceiver was getting hot and would shut down.
As for the radio issue on the Elam, I ordered a new radio system for it and have had no issues with it since. Now that things are starting to slow down a bit, meaning I have a chance to actually stay home for the rest of the year, I finally am getting time to work on the boats. Okay, it's time to resurrect this thread. All tack-glued parts are attached with 15 second gap filling CA/super glue to speed up the process of attaching them. I've tack-glued 1/4" stringers to the sponson insides where the hull bottom will be attached and along the bottom edge of the sponson as can be seen in the first picture The Pak is shown on the left side of the picture, the 1972 Notre Dame is in the center while the 2009 Oberto is shown on the right. So far, I've laid out all the internal framing onto a combination of 1/16, 1/8 and 1/4 inch thick aircraft grade plywood and have cut out most of the parts. That being said, time to get back to the build.
I know building jigs, tools and several other subjects were discussed in the other thread so I won't get back into those subjects unless someone has a question. My subject for this thread will be the 1973 Pay'N Pak. I've decided that, to prevent confusion, I would concentrate on one boat rather than two or three. Rather than deal with nine pages of mixed info and stuff, since I'm getting back into building, I figured it's time to start a new thread.
